Your posts give partial answer. While it is possible to use exist() in my example above, it is not always what you want. What if the actual value is important?
e.g.

    @employess=( 'This guy', 'That guy', 'Fastofle');
    @base_salary{@employees}= 100000;
or
    @netmask{@mymachines}="255.255.0.0";

In any case, some people (like me) might fall in to this trap and the subject of my post was to warn them.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
